Abstract :
The aim of this study was to examine the effect of brain - based learning on the attitude and academic achievement of 5th grade primary school students. The method of this study was semi - experimental, and the non - equivalent control group design was used. The participants were 52 boys who were categorized into experimental and control groups based on the researcher's preference. The teacher of experimental group received five sessions of education. On the other hand, parents of students and other School`s administrative members received 3 training session based on brain-based learning. Based on effective factors as color, nutrition, music, water and natural smell, the learning environment had also changed. Then, focusing on brain-based learning method, the teacher of experimental group provided students with mathematic education during a three month program. Both groups received the attitude and academic pre and post tests. The results indicated that brain - based learning meaningfully affected the students' attitude and academic Achievement in mathematics.
